Back again

Hello, out there! This is my first post since about 6 years ago. Not sure why I stopped posting and reading blogs. Sometimes I just get out of the habit of doing something. This is something that I did love at one time and life got busy with kids and it went on the back burner.  I think that I put a lot of things on the back burner while raising young kids.  We used to play card games with our dear friends and that got lost along the way.  Over Christmas, we played some card games and board games with my parents and my kids and that was a lot of fun! Over the last year, we have played cards with some friends of ours off and on.  Our schedules never seemed to work out for us to get together.

This year has been a big change for us because we have been homeschooling our son.  Things have been going smoothly so far.  He always does the work that I ask him to do.  He likes to get things done and move on to the next subject.  Our daughter is still in public school and is doing well.  Some day I want her to join us in homeschooling.  She likes her friends and we are happy with the elementary school that she attends.  Our son needs more one on one attention that the public school just can't provide.  There is a shortage of paras in the public school system.  He really doesn't need one all the time but classroom sizes are large enough that he kinda was falling through the cracks.  I am trying to do what I think is best for each of my children.  I get questions from people asking if my daughter is sad that she doesn't get to stay home and do homeschool. This really bothers me because she does not want to homeschool!!  I am not favoring my son.  I am doing what is best for him.  What is best for my daughter is for her to stay where she is at.  Thanks for allowing me to blow off some steam!
